Question 1055096: A survey found that people keep their televisions an average of 4.2 years. The standard deviation is 0.86 year. If a person decides to buy a new TV, find the probability that he or she owned the old one for the given amount of time. Assume the random variable is normally distributed

If I understand your question, you want to set up a normal distribution with mu=4.2 and sigma=0.86 and then want to find the probability for x=4.2.
If so, that would be a z-score of z=0, so P=0.5.
